I went to church for the first time in a few months last Sunday – it was more emotional than usual after a sad weekend. I’m not an overly religious man, but I believe. But more importantly, I believe in good people. Coming off a few days of mourning and celebrating the goodness of a great man from our community, […]
We had an opportunity to send a message last night, but we showed weakness instead. I spoke for the first time last night in front of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Wilmette. So I thought it would be a great time to re-launch my blog under a new name, CulDeSac Diaries, formerly SouthCentral Wilmette, A Transition to […]
To Our Loyal Readers: As you have probably noticed, we have changed the name of our blog from Southcentral Wilmette: A Transition to Village Living to CulDeSac Diaries. But don’t worry. We have the same mission and passion to write about just about everything and anything and nothing at all. Mostly nothing at all. As you look back into our […]
My transition to village living has been going well. For those who have noticed that I haven’t published in more than 40 months, I apologize. You must have been wondering why I stopped my musings on on living in this wonderful village we call Wilmette. Let me catch you up. Since I last published, I have become even more ingrained […]

One of the things that make us this way, is […]

I’ve been tweeting/checking in a lot from a new Wilmette gym I belong to that is part of the CrossFit affiliate system — CrossFit Wilmette. This video from a Cleveland affiliate tells a great story about the CrossFit philosophy and how it helps “normal” people like me get in shape. (I still have a ways to go, by the way.) […]
My son and I went canvassing today in support of the Wilmette District 39 referendum which is on the ballot on April 5th. We were given a list of households with registered voters and communicated our desire for them to first vote, and hopefully vote in favor of the referendum so that our school district’s programs can be maintained. We […]
